How to Clean False Eyelashes
Cleaning your fake eyelashes is an easy process. This article will show you how.
1Fill your bathroom sink with water. Add a little soap, or even liquid makeup remover.Ad
2Peel the thin strip of glue off of your fake lashes. This strip of glue is very thin and almost invisible, but it's there!
3Put your lashes in the water, rubbing them gently. You should start to see mascara coming off. Do this for about a minute or so.
4Inspect your lashes to ensure there's no left-over mascara. Pat them dry with a tissue or soft wash cloth. Set them aside somewhere safe so they can fully dry.
We could really use your help!
Adobe Photoshop?
personal grooming?
tongue tricks?
voice disguises?
- Be gentle!
- Put your false eyelashes in a contact lens holder. Fill them with hot water and soap. Close the lids and shake them up and let them sit for a few minutes. Open lids, take them out, rub the excess makeup off and gently pull off the glue. Rinse and it's done.
- Make sure to close off the sink drain somehow, or otherwise that'll be a pair of false lashes down the drain - literally!

Ancient U.S. Weapon Makes a Surprise Reappearance in Syria
- Friday May 31, 2013
The American military abandoned the M40 recoilless rifle after Vietnam. Yet the weapon keeps showing up in Libya and Syria, decades after its supposed retirement.
The American military abandoned the M40 recoilless rifle after Vietnam. Yet the weapon keeps showing up in Libya and Syria, decades after its supposed retirement.
Libya is still better than under Qadhafi. But it's still awful for press freedom, more than a year and a half after NATO helped topple the regime.
Tim Hetherington is trying to explain why he documents war. He launches into a cliché about violence and the "human experience" but quickly stops, laughs and says, "No, that sounds too fucking bullshit." It's the opening scene from HBO's new documentary about Hetherington called Which Way Is the Front Line From Here? The Life and Times of Tim Hetherington. The film, which airs April 18, is a posthumous recounting of one of the most impressive photojournalism careers to date, directed by one of Hetherington's close colleagues, Sebastian Junger.
The deceptive multi-aliased filmmaker behind the shlocky Islamophobic movie "Innocence of Muslims" is even sneakier than we thought. His 17th alias has been uncovered, along with the filmmaker's history as a one-time salesman of drug paraphernalia.
The most shocking and hardest to watch scene in the new HBO series Witness comes when photojournalist Eros Hoagland runs up to a car in Juarez where a young Mexican man sits dying after just being shot. It's a scene that leads to the ongoing question of journalists involvement in the stories they document.
Former CIA Director David Petraeus knew the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was attacked by al-Qaida-aligned terrorists. Only he wasn't so certain when he first briefed Congress on the Libyan disaster, just days after it occurred.
The sex scandal that brought down former Army general and CIA Director David Petraeus has expanded to encompass another senior official: Marine Corps Gen. John Allen, the commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan.
The mistress of former CIA Director David Petraeus publicly discussed sensitive and previously unknown details about CIA operations in Libya. But in many ways, it fit Broadwell's evolving role from Petraeus protegee to unofficial spokesperson.
The White House is no longer blaming him and his inflammatory video for sparking an attack that killed the American ambassador to Libya. But in the eyes of the U.S. government, Mark Basseley Youssef is still a criminal — and a potentially dangerous one at that. And so today, after Youssef admitted to four counts of violating his probation, a federal judge sentenced the man behind the notorious anti-Islam movie "Innocence of Muslims" to a year in prison.
Two elite commando units arrived too late to an airbase in Italy to stop September's assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, the Pentagon said on Friday. But they might play a role in avenging the four Americans killed in Libya.

those telephone poles are on somebodys land. and if its under a public road, that means its essentially govt property and they gave them the right to run it there. note that i dont agree with that - most cable/fiber/buried copper ive seen has run at or near the edge of a private property line, covered by a public utility easement that most property owners are forced to comply with.

Re:Sigh... (375 comments)
Thats what TFA is about. Minority representation in local elections.
Re:Sigh... (375 comments)
in some states getting an absentee ballot requires demonstrating actual inability to get to the polling place. examples include disability, lack of transportation, etc. so that its not just a preference, rather only for those who have no other option.
Re:Sigh... (375 comments)
so its fair to punish the candidate that actually gets 51% of eligible voters to vote for them, simply because they are the wrong color?
Re:Sigh... (375 comments)
i would note that im also a strong supporter of not having a single polling day and allowing for anyone who wants an absentee ballot to have one. this will eliminate the 'oh but its so difficult for people to make it to the polling place when they work 3 jobs' whining.
Re:Sigh... (375 comments)
In other words, "fair representation" means non-whites lording it over white people.
So, you believe it's right that 51% of the people can have 100% of the representation.
If the other 49% cant be bothered to go in and vote, yes absolutely.
There are several commonly cited causes for the lack of minority participation in the voting process and having representation in elected office, most of which lead to a lack of representation in the actually vote itself.
Re:Just as much right? (402 comments)
i see no problem with that.
Re:Morons in Diguise (402 comments)
and in the process, its likely that the actual scientists will be harmed as well. if it werent for that, id say have at it.
Re:Just as much right? (402 comments)
yea, 'people get in my way when i perform exceptionally dangerous tasks for my job that create additional unnecessary threats to my life and theirs' does sound awful whiny.
would you also believe it whiny if, for example, people started invading steel mills just for the thrill, and the steelworkers complained? or lets be a little more congruent, thrill seekers that go out during a hurricane to watch the coast guard rescue people from distressed vessels, to which the media aired stories featuring coastguardsmen warning people not to do that?
Re:Poorly designed vehicle detectors (328 comments)
if you dont drive a car, you dont pay NEARLY as much as anyone else on the road. gas taxes are the primary source for road funding. you dont buy gas, ergo you dont pay to maintain the roads.

(ok maybe a little ^_^).
Don't forget the balls.
I see several mentions of rewards, but how about for user or MVP created events? I like the idea of an activity to give the event some purpose and draw some more folks to the space, but to be honest, I like the conversation...the good company as much as anything. I also enjoy when the forum plays a part in the event. LittleTortuga's Easter Find The Bunny event worked well I felt. Between the interplay on the forums, the activity of finding the bunny, and the chance to converse between searches, it was, I felt, a well-rounded event. Any other ideas in a similar vein?

If anyone ever deserved to be an MVP it's you Julie. You are the defination of what an MVP should be. I so miss your company in this little Fantasy World of ours.
And yes in addition to Julie, David and Stephie Rawks are two of the best event coordinators I know. I know the number of events they hosted last year before they became target of freezers was amazing.
The freezers won and the community lost big time sadly.
With all the motorcyle LMO's we should have bike show type event. Possibly hold it at the XI Continuum "parking lot" (where they/we killed Stapler), that spot is open to the public & I think a lot full of 60 bikes would look cool in a pic for the forum. Maybe even have a contest on the best bike / outfit match, have like 3 MVP's & 3 "regular" users as judges. I'd pitch in lol.
*atleast my girl Mya liked the idea haha

By Ivanna Avalos in Music on Mar 07, 2012
I fell in love with Lauryn Hill after listening to my aunt's copy of "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" when I was 10. To this day, I get chills when I listen to that album, partly because of her incredible voice and songwriting skills, and partly due to lyrics like these: "You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine/Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem."
Since then Ms. Hill has famously stayed away from the spotlight, popping up periodically to do (packed) live shows. But we, and every other music fan on Earth, have been anxiously awaiting her second studio album for what feels like forever. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw a clip of her performing a new song, "Fearless Vampire Killer," at DC's Warner Theater on Feb. 29th. I can't get enough of this track--does it mean a new album's in the works? Dear God, I hope so. 'Til it materializes, we're lucky to have "The Miseducation" to tide us over.

What's your favorite Lauryn Hill track, and what do you think of this new song?

Two out of 15 of my tomato plants have leaves that are curling (upwards, sides curling towards the middle) and both of them are Caspian Pink. One has been in the ground for 2 weeks, the other is still in a pot awaiting planting. Otherwise they look healthy, nice green leaves, growing, starting to bloom. I'm hoping it is just physiological. Is Caspian more likely to curl than some others? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think some tomato varieties are prone to that kind of curling. I had a Black Krim last year that it was the same way. I did make an internet serch and I found a lot of pictures on BK with similar curling. Here is a sample picture. |
Hmm I have no idea. I am new to gardening Socalgal but I have Caspian pinks too....Maybe my pics will just confirm what you see? |

i think it just the type of tomato plant.... i had indigo rose last year did the same thing. just cut them off as long as all the new growth looks good.. |
Suvoth, mine don't look like that. The sides curl towards the center. Boston 3381, the new growth is also curling. I guess I'll just see what happens as the season progresses. |
Hmm well best of luck! |
- Posted by boston3381 7 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 8:05
can you post a pic of the top half of the plant ? dose this plant get sun and afternoon shade ? looks like you have some shade there, |
I am having the same thing happen to one of my beefsteaks, we call it Frankenbush..lol..it's strange cause it's only the one plant out of 3, and from the start it has been darker green then the others, and has branched out at 3 times the rate of the others. Here is a pic, I'm new to this too and have been looking on line for what it is but haven't found it yet... Happy growing, P.S. |
sorry about the double post.. |

my guess is that your Frankenbush is different then the other two plants. a out cast seed got into your pack of seeds.. :) |
Boston, I was kinda thinking the same thing, I'm sure it happens from time to time. I'm just not sure if that would explain the twisting leaves... However the changes I have made this week seem to have helped, I changed to a stronger mix of the nutrients, and switched to the H.P.S. bulb. I changed the light yesterday, but today they look better...Not sure if related or just luck... Thanks for the reply, and Happy growing, Bruce |

I have a chili recipe (Swick and Swick world championship chili) that I found on the Food network. It calls for 1/2 cup of California style chili powder. Is it possible that is the correct amount? What is the difference between that and New Mexico style chili powder and regular chili powder? I have never heard of so many different types or so much being used on one chili recipe. Thanks to all you chili experts-
Lamaria |
Follow-Up Postings:
California Chili powder is from Anaheim chilis which are mild but flavorfull...New Mexico Chili powder is usually Hatch chilis ( but not always!!) and still a mild chili, but hotter than Anaheim..."regular" chili powder usually contains other spices as well...sometimes cumin sometimes oregano sometimes both...and you never really know how hot it is unless you are familiar with the brand. Linda C |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 07 at 16:38
Anaheim chilies are mild, and so California chili powder will be about as mild as Paprika, and not that much different. I prefer to use whole dried chilies, and if you like, you can grind them in a coffee mill to make your own chili powder - just remember to remove the seeds first and toast the chilies to make sure they are stiff enough. I generally use Ancho, Guajillo, and Pasilla chilies, or any combination thereof. Lars |
Lamaria, did you know his wife won the same cookoff in 99 and her recipe is a lot simpler and I bet just as good if not better. James |

NZ Foods Should Contain More Vitamin D
A recent health directive has outlined the need to add more Vitamin D to Australian and New Zealand foods, due to falling levels of this vital vitamin during winter.
Nearly 30% of Australian and New Zealand foods have reduced levels of Vitamin D. Sun is a vital source of Vitamin D, and exposure to sunlight helps absorb this vitamin through the skin. Vitamin D helps in distribution of calcium throughout the body which can prevent falls and fractures among the elderly.
It is not a good idea to increase exposure to the sun, considering the risk of skin cancer, especially in Australia, but it is certainly worthwhile to boost Vitamin D levels in foods.

Health Warning: Beauty Cream From Mexico Causes Mercury Poisoning
POSTED: Monday, September 26, 2011 - 10:33am
UPDATED: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 3:18pm
EL PASO- – The City of El Paso Department of Public Health is warning local residents that a beauty cream from Mexico has been identified as the source of six possible cases of mercury poisoning.
The product is being sold under the name "Crema Antiedad y Desmanchadora" and is nearly identical to "Crema Aguamary" identified in at least 44 cases of mercury poisoning in the state of Texas.
The cream is said to have 130,000 times the limit for mercury allowed by the FDA. .
Patients who have used "Aguamary" or "Antiedad" creams should stop using the creams and should be tested for blood and/or urine mercury.
Physicians or their patients may call the Texas Poison Control Network at: (800) 222-1222 regarding treatment recommendations.
Signs and symptoms frequently reported by cream users include:
• personality changes • nervousness • irritability • tremors • weakness • fatigue • excessive sweating • mouth, tongue, or gum ulcers/sores • elevated blood pressure • memory loss • pins-and-needles sensations in extremities • severe pains or cramps in arms and/or legs • muscle aches • excess protein in the urine

The more footage I see from Lifetime's Saved By The Bell film, the more tragic it looks. The network's nostalgic look back at one of the 90s most popular teen series looks unflattering for all parties involved. The cast look like busted-up versions of the original Bayside High crew, especially the guy playing AC Slater. If I was Mario Lopez, I'd be extremely offended.
With all that being said, I can't wait to watch it. I love trashy entertainment and this is trashy entertainment at its guiltiest best. Check out the trailer below which features Bell Biv Devoe's classic smash, "Poison." The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story is based on interviews with former cast and crew members, as well as Dustin Diamond's 2009 memoir Behind The Bell. It airs on September 1 at 9 p.m. on Lifetime.
Lifetime's upcoming Saved By The Bell tell-all looks like it's going to be one hot mess based on the first preview I.CANT.WAIT!!! This is trashy entertainment at its guiltiest best.
The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story will chronicle all the scandalous behavior that reportedly took place behind the scenes. The movie will be based on interviews with former cast and crew members, as well as Dustin Diamond's 2009 memoir Behind The Bell. The Screech portrayer shared stories of the cast doing drugs and sleeping with each other.
The first clip shows the cast feuding during a photoshoot. Lisa appears to be jealous of Kelly, while Jessie plays mediator. Meanwhile, Slater humiliates Screech during an impromptu push-up contest. In the background, a television exec states, "Well the networks didn't kill us, but the hormones might."
The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story airs September 1 at 9 p.m. on Lifetime. Check out the video below.
In the words of Jesse Spano… "I'm so excited!!!"
On the heels of the network's upcoming Whitney Houston and Aaliyah biopics comes another must-see television event. Lifetime announced a Saved By The Bell tell-all movie is in the works. I love me some trashy entertainment.
The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story will chronicle all the scandalous behavior that reportedly took place behind the scenes. The movie will be based on interviews with former cast and crew members, as well as Dustin Diamond's 2009 memoir Behind The Bell. The Screech portrayer shared stories of the cast doing drugs and sleeping with each other. Check out the actors picked to play the Bayside bunch below.
After seeing paparazzi shots of Mark-Paul Gosselaar on the beach filming his new show Franklin & Bash, I was inspired to do a Who'd You Rather: Saved By The Bell edition. Now, we can all walk a mile in Kelly Kapowski's shoes. Choosing between these two is no easy task. I can't believe we haven't pitted these two against each other yet. It's well documented that Mario Lopez still has a bangin' body, but Gosselaar isn't looking too shabby himself. Time has been kind to both these studs.
Since his days playing AC Slater on the classic teen sitcom, Lopez has mostly delved in the reality genre. The 39-year-old carved a niche as the go-to person to host a show. Lopez's hosting credits include Extra, America's Best Dance Crew and The X Factor. Before hosting, he competed on the third season of Dancing With The Stars where he was the runner-up. Mario also fronted his own reality docu-series, Mario Lopez: Saved By The Baby on VH1. My favorite post-SBTB gig hands down is his guest starring stint on Nip/Tuck. That shower scene was everything ;) Lopez is currently married to Courtney Mazza. The two have a daughter named Gia Francesca and are expecting their second child this September.
Unlike his Saved By The Bell co-star Lopez, the former Zack Morris has mainly stayed in the scripted genre. The 39-year-old actor has multiple television credits. Gosselaar starred in NYPD Blue from 2001-2005. Currently, he's co-headlining TNT's Franklin & Bash with Breckin Meyer. Like Mario, Mark-Paul has showed off his juicy butt. You can Google those beautiful screencaps from his TNT show and a guest spot on Showtime's Weeds. He's also guest starred on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Happy Endings and Rizzoli & Isles. Mark-Paul is currently married to Catriona McGinn. The two are expecting their first child in September like Lopez. How coincidental is that? Gosselaar has two other children from a previous marriage.
Without further ado, check out the guys from their days on Saved By The Bell to today. Don't forget to cast your vote at the end.
Now that The Today Show is consistently in second place to Good Morning America, producers will stop at nothing to get an edge up. Even if that comes at the expense of their guests. Case in point, Tiffani Thiessen's appearance on today's episode. The 39-year-old actress (can you believe Kelly Kapowski is that old?) was all ready to play a round of trivia with Today staff when she was blindsided by one of her Saved By The Bell co-stars. Cue Mr. Belding aka Dennis Haskins.
It's clear from the look on her face that Tiffani was unimpressed and uncomfortable with the situation. Even when Haskins comes over to shake her hand, she's at a loss for words. You'd think after working for several years together, they'd greet each other with a hug. Once the surprise wore off and reality set it, Thiessen was a good sport and played along. I wouldn't expect anything else from perky Kelly. After all, she was the most popular girl at Bayside High. Check out the mini Saved By The Bell reunion below.
Holy '90s blast-from-the-past mashup, Batman! She's All That star Rachel Leigh Cook joins Saved By The Bell hottie, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Growing Pains legend, Tracey Gold in a hilarious new Funny or Die video tackling the crimes of the craft world and the black market world of Etsy.com. In the intro to the video, the site is explained as follows: "To many, it's the website that women all over America turn to when their poetry careers don't take off. But beneath it's crafty veneer lies a teaming, unregulated black market and one person rules it all with an iron fist."
In the following video, we learn that Etsy is run by a maniacal queen named Ellie Harper (Rachel Leigh Cook). After Maggie Chester (Tracey Gold) is attacked by the Queen of Etsy, FBI Agent Michael Peck (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) investigates. Harper is one woman that you don't want to mess with. If you've seen Savages, she's essentially Elena, which was Salma Hayek's character (minus the accent and the drugs).

Hey Saved By The Bell fans – this post is for you. I recently came across an interview courtesy of The Yo Show which host and comedian Michael Yo where he interviewed the famous Lisa Turtle – cough – I mean Lark Voorhies. It's hard to believe but, it's almost been two decades since the show went off the air.
So, where is Lark hanging her hat these days? In the interview, Lark chats with Michael Yo about her production company and the new film she just executive produced, wrote, directed and starred in titled "Hope For Pandora's Box." But quickly, Yo sends the conversation in the direction we all know her from.
Michael takes Lisa back to the early days of "Saved By The Bell" and asks her about it's early beginnings with the Disney Channel before NBC quickly bought the rights in the quick rise to popularity. They talk favorite episodes and address the rumors that she was dating/dated co-star Mark-Paul Gosselaar. One thing you will notice in the interview right way is that Lark Voorhies appearance has drastically changed. Wearing a lipstick that I can only describe as matching her hair color, Lark has come a long way from being the fresh-faced Lisa Turtle well knew and loved. However, her personality hasn't changed a bit and she even hints a little bit that a "Saved By The Bell" reunion could be in the works. Oh god, I really hope so!
Check out Lark Voorhies' interview with Michael Yo after the jump.
Everyone's favorite 90s Saturday morning sitcom seems to be experiencing an resurgence lately. Whether it was Jimmy Fallon's public plea for a "Saved By The Bell" reunion or Urban Outfitters selling Kelly Kapowski t-shirts that have been worn by Justin Bieber and our very own Rich, the Bayside High crew is as popular as ever. Admittedly, I'm a huge fan of the shows and all of it's acid wash awesomeness. Long live Buddy Bands.
In a very unique marketing move, a short parody music video was filmed to promote "Final Destination 5″ hitting theaters this week. Not sure if it's an official viral video sanctioned by the studio, but it's certainly a creative way to promote the horror flick.
The music video, titled "New Romance", re-imagines the teen sitcom as a cheesy horror flick. It was directed by the lead actor in the latest Final Destination flick, Miles Fisher. Watch as the characters of the show are maimed and killed in the halls of Bayside High or at their favorite diner. There's even an awesome reference to Jesse Spano's caffeine pill addiction. Watch the clip and I guarantee you'll get a chuckle or two.

Chidambaram questions Narendra Modi's campaign fund; calls him an 'Encounter Chief Minister'
Finance Minister P Chidambaram, who arrived in Vadodara to campaign for Congress candidate Madhusudan Mistry on Sunday morning, said Narendra Modi's "boastful exaggeration" of the Gujarat development model was neither truthful nor relevant and acceptable.
Lashing out at Modi, Chidambaram said the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate is a "compulsive liar" having a "character flaw and infectious disease to use derogatory language".
Interacting with reporters in Vadodara on Sunday, Chidambaram raised questions on who is funding BJP's extravagant election campaign.
He said, "I heard that one massive rally addressed by Modi in Chennai cost about Rs 20 crore. The BJP claims Modi is holding 400 rallies across the country. Assuming that 200 of those are of the variety like the Patna and Chennai rally and assuming that even Rs 5 or Rs 10 crore are being spent on each, they must explain how they are getting Rs 2000 crore for their election campaign.
"I do not know if the money used for this campaign is black or white but it might certainly be someone else's money."
Taking on Modi in his home turf, Chidambaram said that Modi has centred his propaganda of the development in Gujarat on "exaggeration".
Chidambaram said, "There is a difference between puffery and distortion of truth. All claims of growth are welcome but one should not make exaggerated distortions of truth like the BJP does."
Chidambaram quoted a report by "friend of Gujarat" Mahesh Vyas, Managing Director and CEO, Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, which states that only four others among the 28 states and Union Territories in India are worse than Gujarat in terms of darkness in households.
In his comparison of Modi's Gujarat model and the nation's growth, Chidambaram said that Gujarat is not the best just like it is not among the worst performing states in the country.
Chidambaram said, "There are certain parameters on which Gujarat has done well and there are many parameters on which other states are far ahead of Gujarat. Someone boasting about the Gujarat model alone is mocking at other states. Just like Gujarat has its 'Asmita' and pride, so do other states and so it is wrong to say that the Gujarat model is the only model that can and should be implemented across the country.
"Gujarat is in the middle of the ranking of the states and it needs inclusive growth model to do better than just the tall claims of a political party."
Chidambaram laid out the economic map for the country in 2014-15 and said India had all possible means to achieve an 8% growth rate in the coming financial year, regardless of which government comes into power at the end of the general elections.
Denting holes in Modi's aggressive campaign, Chidambaram continued…

First a story, then a question.
He was born David King, Jr., the son of David King in Jerusalem's Lot, a small town in Maine that had known vampire troubles a century or so earlier in the time of the Romanian vampire troubles, and some said the vampires had come to town after their expulsion from Romania, and others that they were Roma vampires and their descendants had been responsible for an outbreak of thinness, people getting thinner and thinner who hardly wanted to lose the flesh that tied their bones to solid earth.
He wondered what an anorexic vampire would be like. Would they spit back the blood they had sucked? And what if the one they bit were on a blood thinner? Would it deprive the vampires of needed nourishment from thickened blood? And would the thinner blood prove incapable of holding the vampire virus and letting it bond? Did Coumadin have the same salutary effects as garlic?
He had read a story once about a man who had warded off a woman with garlic, and she had said, "I'm sick, I'm starving, haven't eaten in days and you go waving that strong-smelling garlic at me. Of course I'm nauseated. What did you expect?"
But she really was a vampire.
These were questions he played with and thought about, but only for fun–no emotional attachment. Some local, another King, had written up the legends, and critics were saying it was the most terrifying chronicle since Bram Stoker's. But he didn't find horror in the stories. He found comfort—the diversion of familial stories.
It was the randomness of life that gave terror–and the patterns, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and day and night, and summer and winter, and dying and birth.
And they all felt to him like vanity.
And the things that broke up the patterns, the random things, they were also vanity.
Darwin had it wrong. The race didn't go to the fittest. You could train all year, be fit as a fiddle (whatever that meant beyond the repetition of the fi sounds) and someone else would win. Sometimes the vampires would win.
Eventually the family moved to Portland and there he found the portal to the dreamworld. He entered the dreamworld in Portland, Maine, and left it in Portland, Oregon. In the dreamworld he found his non-vain name—Koheleth.
So the question. What literary influences do you see in this story?
I suspect most readers will see the references to Stephen King and Richard Bachman, some will catch the reference to Richard Matheson, and it would be easy to assume that those are the chief influences on the story, that the author is having some fun with the vampire genre and its relationship to other horror genres.
But there's a more subtle reference, and some people will catch the quotation from Ecclesiastes 1:1, and wonder why the quotation is there. Which raises a more interesting question (maybe), what's the most important word in the story? How do you know?
Composition theory would hold that the beginning and end of a piece are places of emphasis, which would make Koheleth the most important word. And, since Koheleth is the Hebrew word the KJV renders Preacher in Ecclesiastes 1:1, "The words of Koheleth, the son of David, king in Jerusalem," it would be reasonable to see the story as an inclusio, an episode that brings the ending back around to the beginning, based on Ecclesiastes.
But Ecclesiastes isn't really a source for this story. It's more a texture. That is, I didn't set out to retell Ecclesiastes, to cast it as fiction. About a year ago my niece asked me to write a book with her, a novel of sorts based on her encounter with a homeless man in a park in Portland. Ecclesiastes provides imagery and a sort of form for the story.
But there's a question I haven't asked yet. What do we mean by source? It's an important question, but we rarely talk about it. Consider this sentence:
Mark, being the first Gospel, was the main source for Matthew and Luke; the information they share which is lacking in Mark comes from a source scholars designate Q.
As often as I've read the information in that sentence no one has bothered to define the term source. I have to play lexicographer and infer its meaning from context. For example, both Stephen Mitchell in Jesus, What He Really Said and Did, and Reza Aslan in Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth claim that the legend of the Resurrection (as Mitchell calls it) is a late addition, not part of the original beliefs of those who followed Yeshua ben Yosef's teachings.
We know this is a late, legendary addition because Mark is the earliest Gospel, the source for Matthew and Luke, and Mark doesn't contain a resurrection appearance−everything after 16:8 not being in the oldest and best manuscripts we have for Mark.
From the way Mitchell and Aslan use the word source, it seems to me they're thinking of Mark as a source in the same way Wikipedia is a source for countless people: If you don't know something look it up, and copy and paste the information into your term paper/sermon/report.
From the way both use the word source it seems like they think of Matthew and Luke as not knowing the story beforehand, as getting the story from Mark then embellishing it with material from Q.
But there's another way to think about sources, suggested by Neal A. Maxwell's comment (in Deposition of a Disciple?) that he uses sources like Christopher Brooker's Trousered Apes, and C. S. Lewis's writing for their phrasing, not their doctrine. It's what I call the "I might have rendered a plainer translation but this will suffice" principle, meaning that it's easier to use words that are already in some order than to compose from scratch.
Here's how I think it might have worked with the synoptic Gospels. Mark is traditionally thought to have been Peter's missionary companion, so his Gospel represents the memories of Peter. Matthew may have been a first-hand participant as well, or have learned the story from those who were. That is, he already knew the story when he read Mark's Gospel, so when he decided to write his own Gospel he said, "I might have said this differently, but this will suffice. I'll just copy this out and add what I know."
Luke starts his Gospel by saying he wasn't an eyewitness, that his Gospel is a research project. So maybe he read Matthew and thought, "I might have said it differently, but this is good enough for a framework. I can flesh it out."
If Matthew and Luke had knowledge independent of Mark, it weakens the claim that if it wasn't in Mark it wasn't part of the earliest traditions. I may expand on that next month. But I need to address something in Mitchell and Aslan's arguments. The arguments feel like they come from someone who hasn't actually read the Gospel of Mark. Their implication is clearly that in the original Mark has nothing to say about the Resurrection.
Anyone who has read Mark knows that is not true.
Here's the original ending of Mark, beginning with 16:1:
1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
While it's technically true that there's no Resurrction appearance in these verses, it's simply false to claim there's no promise of an appearance. The last words spoken in Mark are, "He is risen, and ye shall see him."
That promise is what caused Frank Kermode, who had just published his study of literary endings, The Sense of an Ending, to begin his seminar at Hazard Adams' School of Criticism and Theory (held on the U Cal Irvine campus), Summer 1976, by declaring that the ending of the Gospel of Mark is the most important problem in literary criticism today. (And when my father reported to the BYU English department on his summer in Irvine, he paused to savor going to this very secular institute and studying scripture.)
The thing that makes the ending so problematic for Kermode is that in verses 6 and 7 the angel has told the women not just the good news, but the best possible news, and they run away in fear and trembling. And that has the sense of an ending.
So why would two fine scholars like Mitchell and Aslan open themselves to a charge so easy to make that they're either lying or don't know how to read a text. Or as Harold Bloom said of some critics of The Book of J, "What is a Bible scholar but a very bad literary critic?"
I thought a lot about this question when I read Jesus, What He Said and Did. Indeed I wrote an essay about the book. When I heard Reza Aslan's narration of Zealot I struggled with the question again. Why would he make a claim that is so easy to demonstrate as false? Then I remembered the insight that came to me at the end of my struggle with Mitchell, so I'll close with that part of my essay, "With Desire Have I Desired to Wrestle This Wrestle," and leave my other comments about Aslan for next month.
The essay is a dialogue between a man trying to write a review of Mitchell's book and his elementary school self sitting in the northwest corner of the Wasatch Elementary library reading a book of opera stories so he can find out what that picture of the giant stone statue crashing a dinner party is all about. (Wasatch is shaped like a stick figure dog, so of course Groucho must come by and observe that "Outside of a dog a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.")
"'He is risen.' That's what the young man says.ˮ
"So if you think he's lying why don't you just say, 'Liar, liar, pants on fire?'ˮ
"There's an old legend that when Moses died Satan came to claim his body as a murderer, since he had killed the Egyptian overseer. Michael the archangel came to save him. He didn't insult the devil, or rail against him, or get into a shouting argument, he simply said, 'The Lord rebuke thee, Satan.'ˮ
"So you want the Lord to rebuke Stephen Mitchell?ˮ
"No. The story means it's not up to us to condemn people. Condemning people is lots of fun, but it's more interesting to try and understand them.ˮ
"What are you trying to understand?ˮ
"I can wrestle with someone if I understand the rules of the wrestle. But if someone changes the rules it's hard to keep wrestling. You remember that scene from The Old Man and The Sea where Spencer Tracy is arm wrestling all night? He finally wins, but when he gets out to sea he can't wrestle with all the fish coming to eat his prize.
"That's what it feels like when Stephen Mitchell just denies something with a wave of his hand that's in the oldest text we have for Mark. I feel he's changed the rules of the wrestle, and I'm trying to understand why. I suppose my choice is to give up the wrestle, wrestle harder, or accept it as the kind of wound Jacob got after he pinned the Lord, where the Lord threw his hip out.
"Hmm, maybe that's what happened to Stephen Mitchell. He can wrestle with Jesus as long as he can see Jesus as a man who found the kingdom of God within himself, but when the oldest Gospel clearly proclaims a resurrection he can only find himself pinned or try to throw out what's pinning him.ˮ
The boy who has been reading inside the dog looks up from his book, smiles and says, "All that stuff you've just been saying, write it down. Go to. Wrestle the good wrestle and write it all down.ˮ

Jury deliberating life or death in Granger trial
GALVESTON - by Megan Dillard
The jury in the Bartholomew Granger capital murder trial is deciding whether he should receive the death penalty or an automatic life sentence without parole.
The jury began deliberating at about 10:40 a.m. Tuesday.
Granger was removed from the courtroom during closing arguments when he began laughing uncontrollably. Judge Bob Wortham ordered bailiffs to take Granger to a holding cell outside the courtroom where he could hear what was said in court. During closing arguments and prior to his removal Granger held up a yellow legal pad to the jury with the word death.

The jury must determine if he's a continuing threat to society and if there are any mitigating circumstances to warrant a life sentence.
(Monday report) GALVESTON - by Megan Dillard
Insults directed at the Jefferson County Courthouse, Judge Bob Wortham, prosecutors and the jury. They were all part of another outburst Monday afternoon from convicted capital murderer Bartholomew Granger.
The jury in Galveston convicted Granger last week of capital murder in the shooting death of 79-year-old Minnie Ray Sebolt. She died in front of the Jefferson County Courthouse. Prosecutors say Granger killed Sebolt with bullets intended for his daughter and her mother during a shooting spree March 14, 2012 outside the courthouse.
Both women testified against Granger during his sexual assault trial underway at the time of the shooting. Granger's daughter says her father sexually assaulted her for a period of several years during her childhood.
Granger shot his daughter and her mother that day in March.
Judge Bob Wortham moved the 42-year-old defendant's trial to Galveston. KFDM reporter Megan Dillard has been covering the trial from day one.
Monday was Granger's final opportunity to address the jury in the sentencing phase of his capital murder trial, and this time, as he did during the guilt or innocence phase last week, Granger lost his composure on the witness stand.
It didn't happen right away. A confident Granger walked into court Monday afternoon with a smile, a wink and a thumbs up for our cameras. Prosecutors called it an arrogance that Granger brought with him onto the witness stand.
Granger's attorneys asked him dozens of questions about his parents, his childhood, his education. It was all in an effort to possibly establish how and why Granger is the person he is today. It was during cross examination when Granger lost control.
He continues to refer to his sexual assault case, maintaining he didn't rape his daughter. Then he said, "Yes, I did try to shoot her. I didn't have enough bullets to shoot your (expletive) courthouse."
He said, "This is not a trial. This is a mockery of justice." He also called it a "lynching" and again demanded death.
Granger then attacked the jury. He lashed out with a racial slur against the one black juror, calling her a list of insulting names.
He focused on prosecutor Ed Shettle, asking, "What's wrong, Ed.?" He used a crude four letter word to ask if he'd angered Shettle. Granger asked, "Did I upset you, baby?" He laughed, used crude language and obscenities, blew the prosecutor a kiss and then said, "I love you, Ed."
Again, a description of Granger we've brought you several times throughout the trial. This time in front of the nine women and three men who will determine his fate.
Attorneys will present closing arguments Tuesday and Judge Wortham plans to send the jury out for deliberations by lunch.
Granger faces the death penalty or a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
(Earlier report) GALVESTON - Convicted capital murder Bartholomew Granger lashed out at a prosecutor, a juror and Jefferson County in obscenity-laden statements while testifying Monday afternoon in the sentencing phase of his Galveston trial, according to KFDM reporter Megan Dillard. Granger used expletives and crude language to describe prosecutor Ed Shettle as well as Jefferson County and a female juror in the trial.

The sentencing phase resumed Monday in the Galveston capital murder trial of Granger, 42, charged in the shooting death of Minnie Sebolt, 79, on March 14, 2012 outside the Jefferson County Courthouse.
The jury convicted Granger last week. It's expected to begin deliberations this week on punishment. Granger faces the death penalty or an automatic life sentence without the possibility of parole.
Monday morning the defense played tape recordings of Jefferson County Jail conversations between Granger and relatives. Prosecutors say they show Granger making threats and they told jurors the tapes indicate Granger would be a continuing threat to society. The defense is playing the tapes in an effort to show it believes they were taken out of context.
Jurors must consider two questions in determining whether Granger should receive the death penalty: would he be a continuing threat to society and are there any mitigating circumstances?
Last Friday the defense called a psychiatrist, a pastor and two inmates to the stand in an effort to persuade jurors that Granger should receive a life sentence rather than the death penalty.
Granger walked into the courtroom with a smile.
The State rested its part of the case Friday.
A jury found the 42-year-old defendant guilty last Tuesday in the shooting death of Sebolt.
Prosecutors say he shot Sebolt at the Jefferson County Courthouse last March in a flurry of bullets intended for his daughter and her mother. The pair had testified in an aggravated sexual assault trial during which Granger's daughter said her father forced her to have sex with him. Granger shot both and ran over his daughter outside the courthouse.

Markus, you are right, this is probably what they may have been using as a part of their Smart Pricing algo. However, I think the above logic is inherently flawed.
If the visitor clicks on an Ad and then lands on one of those made-for-adsense scraper sites that lists only a few short snippets lifted from elsewhere (if at all), the visitor is probably going to hit the "back button" as soon as he can, and return to the site he was originally on. Similarly, if the landing page has a copy that is not well-written, the visitor is more than likely to quickly go back to the site that he came from.
AFAIK, if a visitor bolts from the destination site in a matter of seconds, it is a guilty (or a thumbs down) verdict for the destination page/site -certainly not the content site that did the pre-selling and sent pre-qualified traffic to it.
Just a thought...
Sorry - NL
Something happened about 2 weeks ago in Google that I'm still trying to sort out as my traffic seems to have stepped off the cliff yet my ranking program shows most of everything right where it's supposed to be with only a few exceptions for I'm still scratching my head.
The good news / bad news in my case is I suddenly returned strong in MSN serps but nobody uses it, so it's a why bother situation.
Heck, as long as you have traffic you can monetize it so I wouldn't despair.
Besides, with 20 dogs around at least you have plenty of meat if things get tough ;)
I know i'm right as i used the premium options to test it as well as my own internal tracking system. When the visitors to the site came from search engines and my content wasn't exactly what they were looking for they would click on the ads right away, and then come back and leave. Each time the earnings would tank for the effected pages. My solution was to just not show ads for people who came from off beat search engine queries. My earnings went up.

My OP was based on the average for Jan.-Sept. 2005, which had been remarkably consistent. Today is November 1 and it's early yet, but all indications are that the new "norm" set in October is continuing. I didn't really expect an improvement, but we all hope, don't we?
Our network which has had stable/improving ctr for 2 plus years now with adsense has suffered a huge hit in ctr since the change up in the adwords system on or around August 20th.
Same situation as you, no change in the network or traffic at all but ctr has tanked around 40% down now across most sites. Matter a fact our traffic is at all new 7 year record levels.
I hope it all works out for you and most definatly feel your pain.
Can you run ads from both on the same page? I thought that was a TOU problem.
If I were you I would do the following:
* I would first try to improve the site code. -Remove all unwanted whitespace - make the code more structured. -Use stylesheet instead of font tags. ~This will hopefuly improve your serps even more and bring in more visitors.
* I didn't notice your dog related articles from the home page on the first go - I think you really need to improve on the accessibility of the pages. Improve the site navigation by adding relevant links to sections.
* I am not sure if having a bordered ad at the bottom of the page is a good idea - I would probably try to see how they perform without the border.
* Perhaps even add a search engine to the website - you can use the adsense search or maybe some software and display ads on the search results page. It'll be easier for users to find information on your site.
Unless the revenue drop was very significant I would suggest you try and optimize your adsense and see how it goes - give it a week or so and try different things.
Hope this helps.
Regards, R
I appreciate the advice all, but I have a dozen sites and the October plummet was across the board. I was getting 25%+ CTR, which I suspect is much higher than most of you all get with your sites, so I don't believe any site code or nav issues are the culprit - especially since I haven't changed any of that. I test ad placements and colors constantly and was very sure that I had them in the correct #'s and places and colors on my pages. Can't really argue much with 25-35% CTR, right? Hadn't had to monkey with that stuff in months. No, something fundamental happened on exactly Oct. 1 across virtually all my sites. Huge drops in EPC and CTR. It continues into Nov.
The sites in question have started to receive "related traffic" as opposed to targetted traffic. e.g. our holidays site now gets more visitors looking for travel insurance, travel accessories and so on as opposed to actual "holidays". Because Google is ranking us for related terms as opposed to actual terms (a by-product of too much semantic emphasis) the ads we show because our content is about holidays are not relevant to the people visiting the site which are looking for something else.
Therefore the best course may be to push for more traffic from other major search engines rather than thinking your own site is wrong. Can you confirm if you get the majority of your traffic from Google?
Nope, it's mostly from MSN and Yahoo. Just a trickle from Google. You made a good point about traffic coming in that's close but not quite right. I don't know why that would have happened to every one of my sites on exactly Oct. 1, but it's in the realm of possibilities I suppose. Maybe some kind of system-wide semantics algo shift or weighting issue. So I might have been getting visitors where my landing page was dead-on until Oct. 1. Then suddenly I was getting similar traffic #'s, but they were looking for something only tangentially related. That's an interesting idea that I'll have to pursue.
I do know that AdSense ad targeting got really screwy on Oct. 1, so that is definitely the biggest part of my own particular woes. It could explain it all, but it's just so weird that it happened literally on or around midnight Oct. 1 and that it hit all my sites that were running AdSense. The sites are not in related fields at all, not even remotely.
